Ivy 4000 Blake 4000: "You can go first Blake, I enjoy playing with my opponents." Ivy said with a smirk.
"Alright, in that case I discard my Summoned Skull, in order to play Dark Grepher." Blake said as his swordsman appeared on the field. "Next I use his effect, discarding Saggi the Dark Clown to send my Dark elf from my deck to my graveyard. That ends my turn."
"That's all you can do, I'm disappointed, I set one monster in defense mode and equip a spell card onto your Dark Grepher, activate Big Bang Shot, now this card gives your monster 400 extra attack points, but you'll understand why I did that soon enough." Ivy said. "Next I activate Final Countdown, now I pay 2000 life points and in twenty turns, ten for me and ten for you, I win the duel. That ends my move."

"That's strange, why would she power up her opponent's card?" Crow asked.
"I'm not sure, but I have a feeling that magic card is more than just for show." Yusei said.
"Well, I just hope our strategies work." Leo said.
"Of course they will Leo, don't forget we're a team and if anyone is going to win this it's going to be us." Jack said.

Ivy 2000 Blake 4000: "My move, I summon a second Dark Elf from my hand in attack mode. Now I attack your defensive monster with Dark Grepher." Blake said as his monster attacked.
"You attacked my Marshmallon, so now you lose 1000 points of damage, plus my monster is indestructible in battle." Ivy said as Blake lost 2800 points.
"Wait, your effect only deals 1000 points of damage, how did I take 2800?" Blake asked nervously.
"Oh, that, well it just happens to be that whenever a monster equipped with Big Bang Shot attacks a monster with fewer defense points, the difference is dealt to the opposing player as damage, and since I control Big Bang Shot, all damage from it's effect goes to you." Ivy said. "Oh, and by the way you turn began so 19 left until I win."

"What a powerful strategy." Luna said in wonder.
"Yeah, setting a time limit until the duel ends, using an indestructible monster, and forcing the opponent to damage himself." Jack said.
"The strategy is good, but it does have a flaw, the only question is can Blake see it." Yusei said calmly.

Ivy 2000 Blake 1200: "My move, and the count reaches 18, first I set this monster in defense mode, and I play this facedown." Ivy said as her cards appeared. "That does it for my move."
"Well, in that case I play this, I have Dark Elf, Saggi the Dark Clown, and Summoned Skull in my graveyard, so I special summon Dark Armed Dragon in attack mode, next I remove Saggi so my dragon can destroy your Marshmallon." Blake said as his dragon roasted Marshmallon. "Now I attack you facedown monster with Dark Armed Dragon."
"Fine, it doesn't matter to me anyway." Ivy said sending her monster to the graveyard.
"Well, maybe losing will, I attack you directly with Dark Grepher." Blake said.
"Activate trap card, Draining Shield, thanks for the 2100 life points." Ivy said. "You might want to actually work on improving, you only have 17 turns left."
"Watch your mouth, I activate a spell card, Dark Hole, now all monsters on the field are destroyed, I end my move with a facedown." Blake said.

"Think Blake is going to be able to stop her?" asked a young girl.
"He will, don't forget we have more power than most people expect, the only question is when will he play It." said a man in a leather jacket.

Ivy 4100 Blake 1200: "What, I'm only telling the truth, but since you so nicely left yourself open to attack, I summon my Gear Golem the Moving Fortress and attack you directly." Ivy said.
"Activate Negate Attack, now your attack is negated." Blake said.
"Whatever, I still have the advantage, and you only have 16 more turns, this will be over soon enough."
"My turn, I activate Monster Reborn to bring my Dark Elf back from the graveyard, and now I call another monster to my field, I summon my Darknight Parshath, and since I have six monsters in my graveyard, he has 2500 attack points, I attack your Gear Golem with my Darknight." Blake said as his monster destroyed Ivy's.
"You damaged my life points, you don't know what you just did boy." Ivy said angrily.
"Calm down, you still have the lead." Blake said ending his turn.
Ivy 2400 Blake 1200: "Spike, I'm going to crush him right now." Ivy said drawing her card. "I remove Marshmallon and Spirit Reaper from my graveyard in order to call on my Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End."
"What, that card is insanely powerful." Blake said nervously.
"I activate my dragon's effect, I pay 1000 points to destroy all cards on the field and in our hands. Now for every card destroyed you lose 300 points, so I deal you 2100 points of damage." Ivy said.
"Man, your good." Blake said extending his hand.
"Whatever wimp, I'm going to give my teammates a chance to crush you." Ivy said. "Chuck, get up here and wipe out his teammates."

"Blake, are you alright?" asked the young woman.
"Yeah, don't worry about me Annie, just focus on doing your best. This is all for fun." Blake said.
"Ok, well I brought my special deck, unfortunately it doesn't fully fit our team name." Annie said.
"Don't worry a name is less important, just have fun Annie." said the man in the jacket.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Well, I hope you don't plan on avenging your teammate, because I plan on wiping you out just as easily as Ivy beat that weakling before." Chuck said shuffling his cards.
"Well, only one way to find out, so let's go." Annie said.
"Duel." said Annie and Chuck simultaneously.
(Team AoJ has started off strong, but can they continue this winning streak? Next chapter Annie will duel Chuck. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
